TECHNICAL FIELD

The present application relates to the field of communications, and in particular, to a RF control circuit and a mobile terminal.

BACKGROUND

Carrier Aggregation (CA) is a technology that increases the transmission bandwidth. 2˜5 LTE (Long Term Evolution) component carriers (CCs) may be aggregated to achieve maximum 100 MHz transmission bandwidth, which effectively increases the uplink and downlink transmission rate. In carrier aggregation technology, a carrier frequency band includes at least one primary component carrier (PCC) and at least one secondary component carrier (SCC).

When carrier aggregation is performed by an existing carrier-aggregated RF circuit, since multiple frequency band carriers share one power amplifier (such as a multi-mode multi-frequency power amplifier), a harmonic (e.g., a secondary or third harmonic) of a certain P-band carrier signal, which is generated when the P-band carrier signal is amplified by the power amplifier, is easily connected to a signal receiving path of another Q-band carrier when the power amplifier simultaneously transmits multiple frequency band carrier signals. At this time, the harmonic signal may have an interfere on the reception of the Q-band carrier signal, resulting in poor reception quality of the Q-band carrier signal and having an effect on the signal reception performance of the carrier aggregation in turn. For example, the second or third harmonic of the PCC in a low frequency is easily connected to the receiving path of SCCs in medium and high frequencies, which will have an interfere on the reception of the SCCs in medium and high frequencies. Thus, the reception quality of the SCCs in medium and high frequencies becomes poor, which affects the stability of an antenna and the transmission performance.

The AP 211 is configured to transmit the local data signal to the RF transceiver chip 212 and receive the external data signal from the RF transceiver chip 212.

The RF transceiver chip 212 is configured to transmit and receive PCC signals through the PCC path, and transmit and receive SCC signals through the SCC path. The RF transceiver chip 212 includes a signal-transmitting terminal 2121, a PCC signal-receiving terminal 2122, and a SCC signal-receiving terminal 2123.

The PCC signal-receiving terminal 2122 of the RF transceiver chip 212 is connected to the front-end module 23. The SCC signal-receiving terminal 2123 of the RF transceiver chip 212 is connected to the front-end module 23. The switch-control terminal of the switch 24 is connected to the AP 211.

In one embodiment, the power amplifier 213 is disposed between the RF transceiver chip 212 and the front-end module 23. The power amplifier 213 is configured for amplifying the local data signal.

In one embodiment, The PCC path 22 a includes a transmission sub-path 281 and a reception sub-path 282, and the SCC path 22 b includes a transmission sub-path 271 and a reception sub-path 272. The transmission sub-path 271 of the SCC path 22 b is controlled to be grounded such that interference of the local data signal for the PCC path 22 a on the external data signal for the SCC path 22 b is eliminated.

The front-end module 23 includes an antenna switcher 231 and an antenna 232. The antenna switcher 231 is connected to the antenna 232, the power amplifier 213, and the RF transceiver chip 212, respectively. The antenna switcher 231 is configured for performing a switch operation on operating frequency bands of the antenna 232. The antenna 232 is configured to receive the external data signal and transmit the local data signal.

The external data signal in the PCC frequency band and the external data signal in the SCC frequency band are then transmitted to the RF transceiver chip 212 through the PCC signal-receiving terminal 2122 and the SCC signal-receiving terminal 2123, respectively. Finally, the RF transceiver chip 212 transmits the external data signal in the SCC frequency band to a corresponding receiver through the AP 211.

If interference harmonics are generated from the PCC on the transmission sub-path 281 of the PCC path 22 a, the transmission sub-path 271 of the SCC path 22 b is grounded through the switch-output terminal 243 of the switch 24. The interference harmonics cannot be coupled to the reception sub-path 272 of the SCC path 22 a through the transmission sub-path 271 of the SCC path 22 b. Therefore, it can be ensured that the received external data signal in the PCC frequency band and the external data signal in the SCC frequency band are not mutually interfered.

When the RF control circuit 300 in this embodiment operates, the switch 36 is in an off state when a signal-transmitting process is performed on the SCC path separately, and the transmission sub-path 371 of the SCC path is disconnected from the ground. The AP 31 (e.g., a modem) transmits the local data signals to the RF transceiver chip 32. The RF transceiver chip 32 transmits the local data signals to the power amplifier 33 through the signal-transmitting terminal 321.

At this time, the antenna 342 receives the external data signals and transmits them to the antenna switcher 341.

The AP 31 transmits the local data signals to the RF transceiver chip 32. The RF transceiver chip 32 then transmits the local data signals to the power amplifier 33 through the signal-transmitting terminal 321. The power amplifier 33 then transmits the amplified local data signal in the PCC frequency band to the antenna switcher 341 through the PCC signal-output terminal 332, the transmission sub-path 381 of the PCC path, and the first duplexer 391. The antenna switcher 341 then transmits the local data signals through the antenna 342.

When a signal-receiving process is performed on the PCC path separately, the switch 36 is in the off state, and the transmission sub-path 371 of the SCC path is disconnected from the ground. The antenna 342 receives the external data signals and transmits them to the antenna switcher 341. The external data signals are then transmitted to the RF transceiver chip 32 through the first duplexer 391, the reception sup-path 382 of the PCC path, and the PCC signal-receiving terminal 322. Finally, the RF transceiver chip 32 transmits the external data signals to a corresponding receiver through the AP 31.

If interference harmonics are generated from the PCC on the transmission sub-path 381 of the PCC path, the interference harmonic cannot be coupled to the reception sup-path 372 of the SCC path through the transmission sub-path 371 of the SCC path since the transmission sub-path 371 of the SCC path is grounded Therefore, it can be ensured that the received external data signal in the PCC frequency band and the external data signal in the SCC frequency band are not mutually interfered.

Thus, the signal-receiving and signal-transmitting processes of the RF control circuit 300 in this embodiment may be completed.

The external data signals are then transmitted to the RF transceiver chip 42 through the first duplexer 491, the reception sub-path 482 of the PCC path, and the PCC signal-receiving terminal 422. Finally, the RF transceiver chip 42 transmits the external data signals to a corresponding receiver through the AP 41.

When a signal-transmitting process is performed on both the SCC path and the PCC path simultaneously, the switch 46 is turned on, and then the transmission sub-path 471 of the SCC path is grounded. The AP 41 transmits the local data signals to the RF transceiver chip 42. The RF transceiver chip 42 transmits the local data signals to the power amplifier 43 through the signal-transmitting terminal 421.

In this way, the transmitting operation of the local data signal in the PCC frequency band and the receiving operations of the external data signal in the PCC frequency band and the SCC frequency band are realized.

If interference harmonics are generated from the PCC on the transmission sub-path 481 of the PCC path, the interference harmonic cannot be coupled to the reception sub-path 472 of the SCC path through the transmission sub-path 471 of the SCC path since the transmission sub-path 471 of the SCC path is grounded. Therefore, it can be ensured that the received external data signal in the PCC frequency band and the external data signal in the SCC frequency band are not mutually interfered.

Thus, the signal-receiving and signal-transmitting processes of the RF control circuit 400 in this embodiment may be completed.

The RF control circuit provided in this embodiment prevents the harmonics of the PCC signal affecting the receiving operation of the SCC signal due to the specific setting of the switch, which improves the stability and transmission performance of the antenna of the mobile terminal.
